1.Before I fall asleep, I imagine my ideal self
2.Spinning similar stories over and over again3.
4.Because there was “nothing,” this was enough
5.To be able to cry is happiness6.
7.Just breathing is painful
8.Everyone around me quickly compares their worth
9.It’s hard to lift my head and blend in
10.I’m fine being alone forever
11.But you found me12.
13.You gently stroke this unacknowledged heart
14.Saying it’s okay just the way it is, always smiling kindly
15.Yesterday can’t be changed anymore
16.But little by little, I’ve learned to smile better
17.Quietly, gently, surpassing today
18.Let’s look forward with hope19.
20.On anxious days, seeing you made me happy
21.Just your presence there saved me22.
23.These dirty toes, you say they’re wonderful
24.Proof of the struggles I’ve endured25.
26.I’m sorry for always hurting you
27.I can’t ask for forgiveness, but
28.I’ll stop blaming the me you hate29.
30.Various things, various dreams have begun
31.I felt like I could reach out without looking around
32.The face reflected in the window
33.Seemed to be smiling a bit more than before34.
35.It’s a small, trivial thing
36.But it warms and expands my heart
37.It feels nice somehow
38.You make me think that way39.
40.You gently stroke this unacknowledged heart
41.Saying it’s okay just the way it is
42.Always smiling kindly
43.Yesterday can’t be changed anymore
44.But little by little, I’ve learned to smile better
45.Quietly, gently, surpassing today
46.Let’s look forward with hope
